“Gentlemen prefer blondes.” “Blondes have more fun.” Innumerable dumb blonde jokes. There is something distinctive about girls and guys with golden tresses that grabs our attention. In fact, society and pop culture have nurtured notions about our fair headed friends both positive and negative since the Victorian era. If you’re among the many people who are attracted to blondes in particular, then you’ll benefit from information and insight that might help you attract a romantic fair-haired friend.
Don’t bet on getting a natural blonde
It is important to realize that even though you may be targeting a towheaded looker for dating or a relationship, your chances of snagging the genuine article are very slim because only two percent of the planet’s population are natural blondes. Still, shades of blonde from platinum to strawberry are the most popular color choices among people who dye their hair, so there are plenty of people with pretty flaxen locks on the market as long as you don’t have a problem with bottled blondes.
She won’t really be that dumb
You should also keep in mind that all those “dumb blonde” jokes are just that: jokes. It likely comes as no surprise that there is no scientific evidence to support the stereotype that blondes have lower IQs than people of other hair color. In fact, it’s generally in your best interest to keep those kinds of wisecracks to yourself – even if you mean them in a gentle joking way – if you want to stay out of hot water when you’re hitting on a hot blonde. After all, you don’t want to offend the intelligence or sensibilities of someone you’re trying to seduce with a silly joke. And besides, dumb blonde references tend to be stereotypical and stale; they’re the equivalent of the tired “how’s the weather up there” tease that tall people get all the time.
Do blondes really have more fun?
Still, not all sayings about blondes are completely played-out stereotypes. You’ve surely heard it said that blondes have more fun, but you would likely be surprised to learn that a recent scientific study says that there is more than a little bit of truth to that old saw. Specifically, the study showed that women among women who dye their hair, those who choose heavenly flaxen hues experience increased self-confidence and enjoy sex more than their counterparts who aren’t bottled blonde.
Don’t be intimidated
It stands to reason that if blondes tend to have healthy self-images, then the people they date will need to be equally confident and self-assured. If you’re uncertain or unsure of yourself when you approach or interact with a confident blonde, they’re more likely to think you don’t have anything in common and then discount you out of hand. In short, if you’re attracted to a golden haired god or goddess, you can’t be yellow belly. The most important thing to remember when you’re trying to capture the favor of a fair-haired person is that no matter how alluring that halo of golden tresses may be, the color of a person’s coif has far less to do with who they really are than their personality and heart.
